The Slaver Weapon Line-by-Line

[CaptVader]

Sulu: We won't have any trouble digging for it. In this low pressure, the ice should boil as soon as the phasers melt it.

(But they are not alone. Sulu gets shot, then Uhura, then Spock)

 

[Orac]

Spock [OC]: I must take full responsibility for this event. Instead of being warned by the highly unlikely coincidence of a second stasis box, I allowed it's possible value to influence my judgement. The Kzinti now possess our stasis box. Its contents will determine how much damage my error has done the Federation and its people.

 

[Tiran O'Saurus]

[Kzinti Ship]

UHURA: Where are we?

 

[May 20]

SPOCK: A Kzinti spacecraft.

 

[Orac]

Sulu: That isn't good. Kzinti aren't supposed to have phasers, are they?

 

[Athena28]

SPOCK: The Treaty of Sirius does not permit them any weapons at all, beyond police vessels. Obviously, the treaty has been broken.

 

[Orac]

Sulu: A police web. We won't be able to move unless we can turn it off somehow.

 

[Athena28]

SPOCK: The lean, bedraggled one is a reader of minds.

 

[Poltargyst]

UHURA: I've heard all Kzinti telepaths are unhappy neurotics. He fits the description.

 

[CaptVader]

Spock: There is no sure way to guard our thoughts from him. Mister Sulu, he is not likely to deal with me or Lieutenant Uhura. She and I are inferior beings to them. But the Kzinti are meat eaters. If you sense him reading your mind, think of eating a raw vegetable.

 

[Orac]

Sulu: Yes, sir. Maybe I can goad them into revealing their purpose.

 

[Athena28]

SPOCK: Lieutenant Uhura. This may be crucial. In the presence of the Kzinti, do not say anything, do not do anything startling. Try to look harmless.

 

[Orac]

Uhura: Any special reason?

 

[May 20]

SPOCK: Are you forgetting Kzinti females are dumb animals? In an emergency the Kzinti may forget a human female is an intelligent creature.

 

[Orac]

Uhura: Thanks. Thanks a lot.

 

[May 20]

SPOCK: Lieutenant, I value your intelligence, but we may be able to seize an opportunity to escape if the Kzinti believe you have none.

 

[CaptVader]

Uhura: Yes, sir.

 

[May 20]

CHUFT-CAPTAIN: Identify yourself.

 

[Poltargyst]

SULU: Lieutenant Sulu of the Starfleet vessel Enterprise. This is First Officer Spock.

 

[CaptVader]

CHUFT-CAPTAIN: You're a Vulcan. I feel no pressing need to talk to an eater of roots and leaves. Humans at least are omnivorous. I am Chuft-Captain. You are prisoners aboard the privateer Traitor's Claw, a stolen police vessel.
